Hooray for the Beach!

It's been nice all week so we had our first beach day of the new year with some friends. Hooray for the beach ... that's only 10 minutes away.... that we can go to in March! Hooray!


Norah's first beach adventure :)

Mia and our friends Addy & Sam.

Sisters...Sisters...

Now that Norah is almost 6 months old (crazy!!!) she and Mia interact much more. Mia can get some of Norah's biggest laughs and it is one of my most favorite things to watch :) And Norah can get the biggest rise out of Mia ... especially by pulling Mia's hair. That does NOT go over well with big sister :) Norah just cut her first two teeth this week which has totally disrupted the good night's sleep that we both had going there for a while...sad!

In other news... and still fitting under the title "Sisters" ... my sister Cari is officially engaged to be married! She's been going to school at BYU-Hawaii and met a boy out there from the area. So we are planning a trip to Hawaii in July so we can attend her wedding at the temple in Kona. Oh shucks...we just HAVE to go to Hawaii :) It'll be great too because my mom will get to come for a couple days from her mission in Germany so then she'll get a chance to meet Norah. So most of the wedding festivities will be in Hawaii, but we will have an open house for her in the Bay Area (which I'm in charge of... so we'll see how that goes :) )
